CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: AR* TO VIEW

The College Art Association Services to Artists committee in collaboration
with v1b3 (v1b3.com) are producing a printed catalogue of Augmented
Reality (AR) art works entitled AR* TO VIEW. Each artist’s page in the
catalogue will connect viewers to the AR art works visible on a smart
phone using an image recognition software that will be triggered by the
pages in the book.

The AR* TO VIEW catalogue will be dynamic (active) for three years.

THE CONCEPT: CAA regularly holds the NYC CAA conference the Hilton Hotel,
NYC.(1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10019) Thinking
about a hotel as a system of generic meeting spaces and temporarily social
and personal places, we encourage artists to think about the place, the
site, the city, the hallways, rooms, bars etc. and produce a specific AR
artwork that responds to that space. The catalogue will consist of a
graphic trigger chosen by the artist (printed in the catalogue) that can
be viewed from an AR app enabled cell phone. The triggers will be images
taken of objects and features of the hotel itself, so that participants
can also move around the hotel and trigger AR artworks without the
catalogue or use the catalogue as a map of the artworks.

We would like you to participate AND to recommend other artists you think
would like to participate. The printed catalog will be distributed during
the CAA conference in New York City, February 13-16, 2013. The AR art
pieces will be live by the opening of the conference and will remain
active for three years.
